Thanks to the presence of George Santos (or Anthony Devolder or any other alias the con man may be using) being a freshman member of Congress from New York this year has been sullied. So we sympathize with the legitimate New York frosh and their frustration with the faker in their ranks. For the unaware, the very real representative from Nassau and Queens is a fake college grad, a fake Wall Street banker, a fake Jew, a fake 9/11 family member and a long list of other fakes, due to him being an actual liar extraordinaire.
Democrat Dan Goldman filed an ethics complaint against Santos within days of taking the oath. He also cosponsored the cleverly named SANTOS Act (Stopping Another Non-Truthful Office Seeker) and signed on to a resolution of expulsion.
The half dozen GOP newcomers, Anthony D’Esposito, Nick LaLota, Mike Lawler, Marc Molinaro, Nick Langworthy and Brandon Williams — with Santos stinking up their party conference — have felt the revulsion and the collateral political damage even more than Goldman. And Tuesday they offered a pair of new anti-Santos actions, the No Fame for Fraud Resolution and the No Fortune for Fraud Act.
